Albums of the Year 2014

If you’re at all concerned about the place of music in our culture, 2014 was a terrible year. If you’re just looking for some awesome shit to listen to, it was a fantastic year. Who can keep up? This is, inevitably, an incomplete list. Still listening, still catching up.

Top 10 Albums

—1. Scott Walker + Sunn O))) – Soused (4AD)Hard to pick between this and the Fennesz but – really – Soused is some next-level shit

2. Fennesz – Bécs (Editions Mego)
A partial return to his Endless Summer sound and well worth the wait

3. Oval – Voa (self-released)Technically, this came out digitally in 2013 but the vinyl is the real deal

Glad to see someone else found and liked that Mahler Remixed album!! Nice list btw. I don’t think it was such a shit year, but it wasn’t filled with as much genius as others. What was here, was great though.
